Yea man. If it wasn’t for this pesky Ukraine situation taking up a tiny percent of our military budget we would have incredible healthcare coverage.

Over 500bil spent so far in the Ukraine, not exactly tiny regardless of if you support the spend or not. Proxy wars aren't cheap

We're giving out secondhand equipment to NATO allies who then pass on last gen stuff to the Ukrainians. The destruction we are inflicting on Russia is so cost-efficient it's practically free. Not to mention all of the MIC deals it's generated for the US after the world learned how hard our weapons slap.
